Articulus Surgical, a deep-tech medical robotics startup, has raised an undisclosed amount in a seed funding round led by Kalaari Capital.
The capital will be used to accelerate market rollout, expand hospital deployments, strengthen surgeon training initiatives, and deepen strategic hospital partnerships across India.
Founded in 2019 by Saurya Mishra, Articulus Surgical is a deep-tech device company building an indigenous, interoperable surgical robotics ecosystem for minimally invasive soft-tissue surgery. Articulus Surgical aims to build a platform designed for high-volume procedures across diverse healthcare settings.
The company’s flagship system, Pulsar, is a first-of-its-kind modular surgical robotics platform designed for high-volume minimally invasive procedures. Articulus Surgical has also developed Galaxi, an intelligent surgical optics robot, and Nebula, a surgical robotics simulation and training system, which is already in production and commercial deployment.
Over the next 12–18 months, Articulus Surgical plans to increase deployments across Indian hospitals, establish dedicated surgeon training centres, and focus on high-volume procedures across general surgery, gynaecology, urology, gastrointestinal surgery, and surgical oncology.
The company is also backed by Gaurav Agarwal, Co-founder and Managing Director of Innvolution Healthcare, and Sandeep Daga, Managing Director of Nine Rivers Capital.
Saurya Mishra, Founder & CEO, Articulus Surgical, said, “This funding allows us to shift focus to scale and adoption, bringing advanced, minimally invasive surgical technology to more hospitals and surgeons, while staying true to our self-reliant Make-in-India vision with global relevance, driven by a great, young team and an unwavering focus on patient care.”
Pranav Koshal, Vice President, Kalaari Capital, said, “Accessible, high-quality healthcare remains one of the most critical whitespace opportunities in India, where millions of patients still lack access to world-class surgical care. We’re excited to back Saurya and the team at Articulus Surgical, who are building a vertically integrated, India-native platform of affordable robotic surgical systems. Their approach is focused on bringing precision, safety, and minimally invasive procedures within reach of surgeons and patients across the country precisely the kind of impact-driven innovation India needs.”
